Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: Catheter ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) is traditionally performed using fluoroscopy and electroanatomical mapping systems. Zero-fluoroscopy approaches have recently been studied, mostly using the EnSite® mapping system (St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, MN). We studied the feasibility and efficacy of zero-fluoroscopic mapping and ablation of the CTI using the Carto® 3 system (Biosense Webster Inc., South Diamond Bar, CA).
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a zero-fluoroscopic approach to CTI ablation.
Methods: We included 9 patients with typical atrial flutter for whom mapping and ablation of the CTI was done using Carto mapping …
